You could use the BASIC programs in UniVerse to make files in loadfile
format from the UniData files, and simply use loadfile in the uv/bin
directory to populate the UniVerse files with the data.
If UV and UD are on the same machines, the BASIC program could write to a
named pipe on the UD side and direct loadfile to read its input from the
named pipe. Then you do not need disk space for an additional interim
copy of the data.

[U2] Re: Move data files from Unidata to Universe
UPDATE:
Here is a response I received from IBM:
Scott,
I have checked with our Lab Services (aka consulting) group and they tell
me that there have been no requests to migrate a UniData account to
UniVerse, and there are no native utilities within UniVerse to do this.
They are willing to discuss this with you as a billable engagement.
FYI, if this had been the inverse .. migrating a UV account to UniData, it
would have been no problem, as UniData comes bundled with a command called
"UV_RESTORE", which takes a uvbackup sourced account and restores and
converts it to UniData file formats.
So perhaps there is another way to skin this cat. Is there a way to
read/write to UDT files directly from UV?
Any and all off-the-wall, out-of-the-box, out-of-left-field, {insert your
favorite left-brained-business-creativity-MBA cliche here} suggestions
welcome.

I have a Unidata demo on my pc that I installed along the the PE version
of Unidata. I want to test in my Universe/Linux environment. How does
one
convert a Unidata account to Universe? (I am ok with the ud style dicts,
so
I just need to convert the data files, indexes? etc.) It has been
suggested
that uvbackup can do this.
